Hi

I recently upgraded from my old computer running win98SE and I'm now running windows 2000 Pro. With win98SE I had SoftICE 3.25 and never had any problems using it. I'm now using SoftICE 4.05 (NTICE), and I'm having problems with both F12 (p ret) and F11 functions. With F12, after I set a breakpoint (bpx GetDlgItemTextA for instance), SoftICE breaks normally, but once I'm in SoftICE and I press F12, it seems that SoftICE isn't breaking on the "ret" part of "p ret". After I hit F12 I'm simply taken back into windows but SoftICE doesn't break again (on the "ret" part). F11 is doing a similar thing.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

Have you tried it on several different targets (preferably at least one you have written yourself), to eliminate the possibility of anti-breakpoint protections?

If my hunch is correct, you are using the STANDALONE version of Softice (latest I reckon is 4.05 NT). Unfortunately, it will perform exactly as you have mentioned. To avoid this behaviour you will HAVE to install softice from the Driver Studio rather than go in for 4.05 standalone. 4.05 standalone is dead. RIP.

Delta, Yes, I was actually testing it on a target I wrote myself....Aimless thanks...I downloaded SoftICE 4.27 and it works fine!
